Recently I decided to take an exchange student from Portugal into my home and thought it would be more friendly to learn some Portuguese so I could talk to him in his native language. I ended up buying Portuguese Now to help me learn the language and I was surprised at how good it really worked. I was able to really work on the fundamentals of learning a language through various games, practice conversations, videos and more. One of the most intresting features I found was a Pronunciation Meter that measures your pronunciation versus a native speaker's. This product worked well for me and it was definitely worth the purchase.

Recently I traveled to Portugal for a vacation and wanted to be able to converse some in Portuguese. I bought this program to do so and found it to be very good. I learned a great deal of Portuguese in a short period of time with this software. The conversation practices were my favorite part because I was able to learn many phrases and things to say in various different situations such as ordering dinner at a restuarant or asking for directions (this was very useful on my trip). I also really liked the video and audio features which were superb in every way. Even though I only used this for travel I learned way more than I thought I would so I would recomend this program for any reason- work, travel, education, ect.

Portuguese NOW is an effective way to engage in learning Portuguese. All of the features work well together to improve the many aspects of learning a new language. Overall, I just can't find a way to express how good this program really is for learning Portuguese.

Portuguese Now will help you achieve fluency in Portguese. I was very happy and impressed with this software and I am really considering looking at some of Transparent Language's other language products. Portuguese Now deserves the 5-star rating for the following reasons: 1) It has the content for all ability level speakers- beginners to experts. 2) It teaches you pronunciation which is crucial for being understood by fluent speakers. 3) It does not leave beginners in the dark- gives you places to start such as an Aplhabet Reference and Grammar Turtorial. 4) Very impressive conversation practice methods.
5) Tons of useful vocabulary and phrases. 6) Very good practice games/activities and methods.
Portuguese Now offers an excellent language learning program and I would recomend it to anyone.
